Description
Indications
Busulfan is prescribed to treat a specific type of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), which is a form of cancer affecting white blood cells. Classified as an alkylating agent, busulfan operates by impeding the growth of cancer cells in the body, thereby slowing down or halting the progression of the disease.
Uses and Dosage
Take this medication orally, either with or without food, as instructed by your doctor, usually once daily.
The prescribed dosage is determined based on factors such as your weight, medical condition, laboratory test results, and response to the treatment. If your blood counts drop too low, your treatment may be temporarily halted. Ensure you attend all medical and laboratory appointments.
Avoid increasing your dosage or taking this medication more frequently than prescribed. Doing so will not expedite the improvement of your condition, and it may elevate the risk of serious side effects.
Given that this drug can be absorbed through the skin and lungs, pregnant women or those planning to become pregnant must refrain from handling the medication or inhaling dust from the tablets.

FAQ
What other conditions has Myleran been used for?
Myleran is only FDA approved for use in CML. Although it’s not approved for any other purpose, some providers might consider using Myleran to treat two rare blood conditions that haven’t responded to first-choice options. These conditions include essential thrombocythemia (where your body produces too many platelets) and polycythemia vera (where your body produces too many red blood cells).
Are there any serious risks if I take Myleran?
Yes, taking Myleran can have serious risks. Most commonly, Myleran can cause your red blood cell, white blood cell, and platelet counts to drop, especially with higher doses of this medication.
